Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

Can anyone confirm the sound you are getting from the H50's pump?

Mine seems to make a slight rattling sound similar to a hard drive clicking. It's not mega loud but definately noticeable over the other stuff in my case.

I used to have a custom water setup and when I initially fired it up it was noisey because of the little air bubbles but it soon settled down to the point where I could only hear the pump humming. Never had any rattling from that.

Silent here.
 
I'm most likely upgrading my triton 81 to the h5o for xmas.

I just wondered if I should reverse all the front fans in the antec 1200 to improve air flow or do you think there too far away from the radiator to feel a difference?
 
Sorry for digging this thread up.

I have a question relate to H50 and Akasa apache, do you guy use metal screw or use the rubble mounting pin come with the fan to attach them ? Because I worry the temperator of the rad will melt the rubble pin.

Another question : when you attach apache fan using rubble pin, do you cut the tail of the pin after that ? since it doesnt look good to me.
 
The Rad can't get any hotter than the CPU and will most likely be quite a bit cooler as thats it's job.

Just using touch the rad is around room temp even at 4Ghz.
 
Does anyone else find that the supplied fan is very loud? I have an Antec 300 and The Corsair fan is louder than the 140mm and 120mm ones that came with the case. Is it possible for me to get a 120mm to 140mm adapter so I can attach it to the roof fan?

There is such a thing, you can find it if you google '120mm to 140mm Bracket Adapter' (can't post links, sorry).
 
Am I missing something here? I feel that Corsair's instruction to reverse the case fans isn't a good idea. I installed my H50 yesterday, I bolted the radiator directly to the case, where the rear fan used to be, using standard short case screws. I then fitted Corsairs supplied 120mm fan to the radiator blowing outwards, essentially the opposite of what is recommended. It looks great and works great, there is also no need for a second fan 'sucking'. If cooling performance needs to be improved mearly swap the supplied 120mm fan for something a bit more powerful, the Noctua fan recommended above should do the trick.
I am very pleased, I now have my E8500 running at 35c idle. 49c (max) Prime 95 after 22mins and 55c Intel burn test at maximum.
I realise that a Core 2 Duo @ 4.0 GHz isn't taxing this cooler a great deal.
Overall I am very pleased, my case is neater, quieter and I am all set for a future upgrade.

this is for capriboy as he asked for pictures of my new build after my H50 and motherboard went faulty so were replaced a few months ago but never got round to it taking pictures that is :(

just to show its possible in this direction i have mine blowing out through the roof and that does me fine temp wise plus its completely out of the way leaving plenty of room around the cpu :)

this is the new revision as i sold the older one which wasnt giving me good temps ?? maybe pump wasnt fully working i dont know i mean it was going at the usaual 1400rpm but still temps were not good so changed it.
downers are the new attachment ring which is more awkward to attach more so than the first one which was a lot easier.

i get 65-70c @3.8 (19x201) lynx/intelburn tests and mid 60's on prime.
could do 4.0 but dont get much performance gain as i use it for games mainly so i leave it a cooler 3.8. :)


*sorry about the wires looks messy i know but im in the process of upgrading the psu to a 1200w one :D

I bought one today and installed it with two fans also, i'm not getting those kinda temps, mine are 48c,44c,45c,42c idle and 78c,77c,74c,72c load with prime95 small fft.

my I7 920 D0 is overclocked to 4Ghz with 1.268vcore in a coolermaster cosmos case which is crap for cooling, thinking about changing it for a ATCS 840.......

The corsair is good though, far superior to the Titan Fenrir I had before that was touching 85c-86c under load.

Hi guys, The problems people get with there temps that are higher than expected. Ive created a post ere: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18094693

And I have found the problem people are getting with this cooler. The best way i found is to apply thermal paste is to smooth it on evenly not too much not too little. Have a read if you have the same problem as what i had :)
